Important Event Information:

This event will be a busy night and we are expecting a large crowd. Please read and follow below expectations:

-Please stay with your child during the entire event.

-After check in please take your child to their grade pod, and retrieve a craft. Parents are expected to do the craft with their child.

-Children should only leave their pod to go to the restroom with their parent or when their pod is called to go to the gym for the show.

-Please help your child retrieve their one snack tray before the show from our volunteers.

-Snacks will be provided at specified time - one per child.

-Parents are expected to supervise the behavior of their children during the event.

-Parents are expected to sit with their child during the play to help them stay focused on the performance.

-Unlike a movie, the actors are performing in front of you. They can see everything that you do, making noise during the performance distracts the actors and others around you.

-If you arrive late, please enter the show quietly and sit in the back of the group. Do not allow your child to try and find their friends.

-Don’t bring electronics to the performance. The use of cell phones, cameras, computers, tablets, and video game devices are not allowed.

-Stay in your seat during the performance. Make sure you go to the bathroom before the show starts.
